Small and low-cost mobile mapping systems
(2011) Kolecki, Jakub
Nowadays acquisition of large amount of data for various mapping applications like creation of a terrain, building or a building part models is performed mainly using laser scanners or photogrammetric methods. From early nineties we observe more intensive development of a mobile mapping systems integrating various types of cameras not only with positioning systems like GPS, but also with inertial measurements units (IMU) and other geo-referencing sensors. Such mobile mapping devices have obviously very high prices, are large-sized and have usually very high weight. There are however some lightweight constructions basing on alternative solutions other then those met in expensive commercial systems. The researches conducted among many institutions in the world show that such systems may be in fact constructed using relatively inexpensive devices, available on the market. The accuracy demands could be satisfied for a bulk of mapping applications. This paper addresses the topic of low-cost mobile mapping systems. First of all a few examples of such systems will be presented, and then more detailed overview of geo-referencing technologies will be given.

Use of integrated GPS and INS systems in aerial photogrammetry
(2011) Poręba, Martyna
A synthetic overview of the present state of knowledge regarding the use of GPS and INS systems in aerial photogrammetry is presented. Although, the inertial navigation can calculate the position of the aircraft without any help from outside world, a large number of error are introduced. Hence a GPS is used to aid the INS, using a Kalman filter which helps in estimating the errors in the INS and thus updating position to improved accuracy. The deficiencies inherent in both systems as well as the reasons for their integration are considered. Since the use of a GPS system during flight still requires the creation of a net of ground control points and the planning of blocks with sufficient overlap between images, GPS/INS system integration has become a topic of keen interest. For this purpose, the basics of GPS/INS integration and the advantages and disadvantages of this solution are explained. The summary presents conclusions about directions for further development of integrated systems and a brief discussion of the current state of studies on direct georeferencing published in international scientific literature.
